ABOUT BOOMING TowNs.-The Charlotte
Chronicle utters truth when it says: 1t
is not good idea for people who want their
town to boom, to sit around and wait for
somebody to come along and boom it. The
citizens of a town must do their own boom
ing, and if they are not disposed to do that
much for themselves, they are not likely to
enjoy much of boom. The home newspa-
per is an important factor in the prosperity
of a town

Rev. Dr. Dixon of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum informed US in conversation last
week that during his entire connection with
the asylum, he had never had letter from
a Jew that did not contain a contribution
What makes this more remarkable is the
fact that there is not now, nor has there
ever been, a Jewish child at the Institution.
Gentiles may learn a wholesome lesson
from the above facts, and also to be more
charitable in their remarks about the He
brew race.
